ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Yes, I know the whole thread borders on sexism but this particular post seems to point to it more specifically.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 4, 2012, 03:08 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: yeah, the whole thread is objectionable and not PC - but I really have a problem with the PC police, and, like it or not, this is in the Sports forum where sort of thing is part of the landscape.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: I don't see the sexism here. I'm voting to hide the post because it's pretty clear from the entirety of the thread that the intent is not to ogle women who choose to be ogled but to antagonize those who have complained. It doesn't upset me that men look at beautiful women, particularly women dressed for public venues, albeit with the intent to be sexy. But the poster is obviously trying to goad people, not for the sake of provoking discussion but for the intent of upsetting them and nothing else. In short: trolling.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: sports forum - this is what they do
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't particularly like the concept of cheerleaders either but I can't see where this post breaks any rules.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
